The light that recent sexual assault allegations are shining on colleges brings the darkest stories to light, helping drive people to do something. In September President Obama announced a new campaign, It's On Us, to help battle the sexual assaults in schools around the country. Many schools already had programs like this designed, but are starting this one as well. However, many schools bring up the point that, while having these programs is a step in the right direction, many of the men who would be directly involved with such sexual assaults aren't going to want to come to a program that seems like it's attacking their lifestyle.
When this point is brought up I believe that it comes back to the home. It is the parent's duty to teach their sons, and daughters, when they're young that sexual assault is never right. If our generation was raised without media influence, and with parent's teaching their children what's right and wrong, sexual assault wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is.

I think this is a step in the right direction. If parents informed their kids about sexual assault there would be a drop in the number of cases. The colleges have a good idea, but the program needs time to develop.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think the parents need to teach their children more about this and just how bad it really is.
